Kenmore Elite 79572053112 refrigerator Parts

Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572053112 is a bottom-freezer style unit in the 795.7205* model family. For exact exterior dimensions (width, depth, height) and capacity for your specific color/trim variation, use the 79572053112 owner's manual.

When customers ask for the size of a refrigerator, it typically refers to one or more of these specs:

• Overall capacity (cubic feet)
• Exterior dimensions (W x D x H)
• Cabinet depth vs. total depth (handles and doors can add inches)
• Clearance needs (space behind, above, and at the sides)
• Door swing and drawer pull-out space (important for bottom-freezer drawers)

Use a tape measure and record in inches:

• Width: widest point of the cabinet (and separately, with doors/handles if they protrude)
• Depth: from the back to the front edge of the doors (and separately, to the handle)
• Height: floor to top of hinge cover (not just the cabinet)
• Installation space: opening width/height/depth of the cutout

Getting the correct size prevents delivery and installation problems, helps you confirm fit in a cabinet opening, and avoids airflow issues that can reduce cooling performance.

If your Kenmore Elite 79572053112 is warm at the bottom, the most common cause is restricted airflow: items blocking air vents or poor air circulation keeps cold air from reaching the lower area. Start by clearing vents, confirming settings, and allowing time for temperatures to stabilize per the 79572053112 owner's manual.

• Move food packages away from interior air vents so air can circulate.
• Make sure the doors close fully and are not being held open by bins or containers.
• Reduce long or frequent door openings; warm, humid air quickly raises compartment temps.
• If the refrigerator was recently installed or moved, allow up to 24 hours to reach set temperature.
• Check for Demo mode; Demo mode runs lights and display but disables cooling.

Use this as a quick reference while troubleshooting.

If vents are clear and settings are correct, uneven cooling can point to a cooling-system or circulation problem. These are common next suspects:

• Frost buildup affecting airflow (often tied to a defrost sensing issue such as the refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005R).
• Dirty or restricted condenser area (heat cannot leave the system efficiently).
• Weak cooling performance (sealed system components such as the refrigerator compressor TCA38091801 are involved; service is typically required).

Bottom-warm conditions usually mean cold air is not moving correctly through the refrigerator. Fixing airflow early helps protect food, reduces compressor run time, and prevents temperature swings that can lead to frost and moisture problems.

Common problems we see on the Kenmore Elite 79572053112 bottom-mount refrigerator include cooling issues from a sealed-system or compressor problem, ice maker and dispenser failures, and control or sensor faults that cause temperature swings, noise, or intermittent operation. Use the 79572053112 owner's manual troubleshooting section to narrow the symptom quickly.

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: compressor not running, condenser airflow blocked, evaporator frost buildup, or a control issue
• Ice maker not making ice: ice maker assembly fault, frozen fill tube, low water pressure, or a clogged water filter
• Water dispenser slow or no water: restricted filter, kinked water tubing, or inlet valve problem
• Frost buildup or thawing/freezing cycles: defrost sensor or defrost system problem
• Lights or door alarm acting up: door switch not closing consistently

1. Confirm settings: refrigerator about 37°F, freezer about 0°F.
2. Make sure doors seal and close fully; check for gaps and torn gasket areas.
3. Verify airflow: do not block vents; clean dust from the grille area.
4. If ice or water is weak, replace the water filter and flush several gallons.
5. After a power interruption, allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.

Catching the root cause early protects food, reduces energy use, and prevents secondary damage (for example, a restricted airflow issue can look like a “bad compressor” when it is really a maintenance or defrost problem).

Water leaking from the bottom of your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572053112 is usually caused by a defrost drain that is clogged or frozen, or a leak in the dispenser water line/tubing. Less often, an internal cooling-system issue can create excess frost that later melts and overflows.

• Look for water under the fresh food section vs. under the freezer drawer (this helps narrow the source).
• Check for ice buildup on the freezer floor or a sheet of ice under the bottom drawer (common with a blocked defrost drain).
• Inspect the water filter area and filter housing for drips after dispensing water.
• Pull the refrigerator slightly forward and check the house water connection for seepage.
• If the leak happens only during/after ice maker use, focus on the ice maker fill and dispenser water path.

If you find the leak is in the dispenser supply line, replacing the tubing is often the cleanest fix: refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602. If the leak is at the filter head or right after a filter change, confirm the filter is fully locked in place and consider replacing it: genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801.

A small leak can turn into floor damage, ice buildup in the freezer, and poor cooling if airflow gets blocked by frost. Fixing the root cause also helps protect the compressor and evaporator from running longer than necessary.

Your 79572053112 owner's manual includes a troubleshooting guide and water line connection information that can help you pinpoint whether the leak is from defrost drainage or the water supply system.

On the Kenmore Elite bottom-freezer refrigerator model 79572053112, the model and serial number are printed on the appliance identification label. The label is typically inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on a side wall or near the door opening; confirm the exact spot in the 79572053112 owner's manual.

Look in these spots in order (most common to least common):

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on the left or right side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light housing
• On the frame around the refrigerator door opening (hinge side)
• Behind the crisper drawers (check the side wall just above the drawer rails)
• On the back exterior panel near the lower area (less common)

The label usually includes both a model number and a serial number.

The Use & Care Guide covers a model family (for example, 795.7205*). For ordering parts, we use the full model number (like 79572053112).

• Copy every digit exactly as shown (no spaces)
• If there is a color code or suffix, include it
• Take a clear photo of the label before it fades or gets smudged

Kenmore Elite refrigerators often share similar doors, bins, filters, and controls across a series, but parts like the ice maker, door gasket, or control board can vary by full model number. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct diagrams and replacement parts the first time.

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator like model 79572053112 typically lasts 12 to 15 years. Consistent maintenance (clean airflow, good door sealing, and timely filter changes) helps it reach the high end of that range and reduces strain on the compressor and sealed system.

• Condenser airflow and cleanliness: Dust buildup makes the compressor run hotter and longer.
• Door seal condition: Air leaks cause longer run times and frost issues.
• Water quality and filter maintenance: Protects the dispenser and ice maker water path.
• Stable temperatures: Frequent warm-ups from heavy door opening shorten component life.
• Leveling and door alignment: Prevents poor sealing and moisture intrusion.

For model-specific care and cleaning guidance, follow the 79572053112 owner's manual.

Using the correct consumables and replacing worn sealing parts early helps prevent bigger cooling problems.

• Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 (part number ADQ36006102) for water and ice filtration
• Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408 (part number ADQ73214404) to help control odors
• Refrigerator door gasket, right ADX72930461 (part number ADX72930414) if you notice gaps, tearing, or condensation

A refrigerator that runs longer than necessary (from dirty condenser airflow, leaky gaskets, or restricted filters) puts extra load on high-cost components like the compressor and evaporator. Keeping temperatures stable and airflow clear is the simplest way to extend service life.

On the Kenmore Elite 79572053112 bottom-mount refrigerator, a bad compressor usually shows up as poor cooling (fresh food and freezer warming) along with the unit running almost constantly or making unusual compressor-area noises. Before condemning the compressor, we check airflow, condenser cleanliness, and basic power issues using the 79572053112 owner's manual.

• Refrigerator and freezer temperatures keep rising even though the unit runs a lot
• Clicking or buzzing from the compressor area followed by the compressor shutting off
• Compressor shell is very hot and the refrigerator still is not cooling
• Breaker trips or the refrigerator repeatedly loses power when the compressor tries to start
• Condenser fan runs but cooling performance does not improve

Many “bad compressor” symptoms are caused by airflow or heat rejection problems.

• Clean the condenser area: Dust-clogged coils can mimic a sealed-system failure.
• Confirm the condenser fan is running (near the compressor) when the compressor is on.
• Check door sealing: Warm air leaks can cause nonstop running.
• Verify controls are set correctly and allow 24 hours after changes.
• Listen for the evaporator fan inside the freezer; no airflow can cause warm temps.

If diagnosis confirms a sealed-system or compressor failure, the repair typically involves the compressor and related sealed-system components.

• Refrigerator compressor TCA38091801 (compressor replacement is a sealed-system repair)
• Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004 (restricted heat rejection can worsen cooling)

A compressor is the heart of the cooling system. Catching a failing compressor early helps prevent food spoilage and reduces strain on other components (fans, controls, and the sealed system). Your manual also outlines troubleshooting and service guidance, including Kenmore Connect diagnostic steps.
